There has beer some serious charg-
es preferred against Hon John
Walker, State Auditor, of Missouri,
which brings in question his honesty,
and integrity as a state official The
legislature has ordered an inyestiga-
ton of the whole matter, and Mr..
Walker and his friends are anxious
for his official acts to be fully investi-
gated. We have always had great
confidence in the honesty of Auditor
Walker, and will not believe him to
be guilty of any violation of the law
until it has been proven beyond a
doubt that he is guilty, and that We
are satisfied, will not be done, for
honest John Walker, of Howard
county, certainly is a man of too much
common sense and judgment, TO be
guilty ofthe charges preferred against
him.

THE SALVATIONISTS.

One OF the greatest refiVais tnai
has ever been known in the history
of central Missouri, is at present in
progress in this city and the most
hardened sinners are gradually being
won over to the seeking of a better
and purer life. In this connection it
is well enough to say that while the
Salvationists, have by their peculiar
methods, offended in some degree, the
more fastidious church workers, yet
it cannot be denied that they pre-
faced the present great religious up
heaval. 1t was an issue which could
not be ignored and it offered an al
tentative which was the acceptance
on the one hand of the rowdy and
anti.law and order element or ON the
other religious work and morality.
There was. of course, but one choice,
when this issue was presented to the
church people and they chose to &C.
cept it They found that the Saliva
tlonists were causing men, who had
robbed their families of not only their
presence, but their living,
night after by seductive influences
to spend their evenings
singing and praying at the barracks
of the Salvationists and after mature
thought they said, els well; what
does it matter that the songs are
faulty in metre or the prayers crude
sOut of the fullness of the heart the
mouth speaketb.' and this is the real
ques ion. $50 the good people said,
1--WE will heed the cry for help which
comes from Macedonia and We will
swell the grand Salvation tide which
has reached the city" Hence, when
that able evangelist, Maj Cole, ar
rived there was already feeling that
the Esprit of God was descending
like a dove" upon the people and
their hearts were ripe for the harvest.
The BAzoo is glad to know that the
are being encouraged
it is glad to know that the truly
christian people of this city remember
that Christ himself, an humble Nszar-
enc, walked and taught among the low
ly poor. His heart was always tender
to this class. He knew their weak |
nesses, their struggles toward the
Light and he stretched out his hand
and lifted up His voice to God the
Father in their behalf. Whatever
may be said of the thinking brass
and sounding cymbals" of the Saliva
tionists, let the Christian people of
this city remember that proud and
naughty spirit is abomnible in His
sight and let them endeavor to lift
up and benefit to the extent Of their
ability the Salvation Army that it
may grow and broaden and strength
IN in The work for which it seems so
peculiarly adapted.

DEATH OF JOHN G. SAKE.

He Expires mt Albany, n. Y.-Sketch of
the Comic Poets Life.
ALBANY, N. Y. April John Godfrey
SAKE, the poet, is dead. His body will be
buried in the Greenwood family lot in
Brooklyn. Mr.. SAKE died at the residence
of his only son, Charles SAKE, late yester-
day afternoon. He had been practically a
rccluse for the last ten years, the many
family bereavements which he suffered
undermining his reason to some degree.
John Godfrey SAKE was born June 2, 1916, at
Highgate, VT, and graduated from the Middle
bury College in 1885, -Four years later he was
admitted to the practice of law at St. Adams,
and continued there in the profession until
1850, when he removed to Burlington, Vt. He
became the editor of the Burlington Sentinel
which he conducted as q Democratic
party organ for five years. He was
repeatedly the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, but never secured a political Office until
1851, when he was elected States Attorney.
After faithfully serving out his term he bid
farewell to law and politics and devoted him
self to literature and lecturing, winning world
wide fame as a satirical writer. Some fif-
teen years ago Mr.. SAKE failed in health
and retired from active life to
a quiet home at Albany, n. Y. His
brilliant mind gave no warning of the collapse
until one day in 1872, in an Iowa town, he
was stricken while about to board train.
Since that time he has produced nothing.
His earliest poems Q843) were published
in the Knickerbocker Magazine, but it
was not until progress, a Satire" ap-
peared in New York in 1916 that gen.
eral attention was attracted to the new humor-
list. From that time on to 1869 MI. SAKE was
one of the most prolific producers of verse in
the English lanuage. Early in 1870 Mr.. SAKE

ASKING FOR RELIEF.

Petitions Presented to the Inter State
Board from Various Organizations.
WASHINGTON, April s. -Senator Dolph, of
Oregon, presented to the Interstate Com
missloners yesterday memorial from the
Walla Walla Board of Trade, in which the
petitioners prayed that the crop of the
present year be relieved from the strain of
exorbitant freight charges. A committee
from Macon (Ga.) Chamber of Commerce,
consisting of Messrs. w. II. Ross, H. D..
Johnson, S. Waldeman and j. #.
Hansen, were received by the COM
mission. They set forth that the effect of
the enforcement of the fourth section of
the act would be to increase through
rates from eighteen TO thirty per cent. be-
yond present prices, and would not reduce
the tariff between intermediate points.
This increase of through rates meant the de-
struction of not only the railroads, but of
all great commercial interests in the South
They therefore prayed that the long and
short haul section be not applied to South
ern railroads.
In reply to a letter from the Canadian
Express company, of Montreal, asking if
the Inter-S State Commerce act applied to
express companies, an answer was re-
turned stating that an early opportunity
would be given the express company to be
heard on the subject, and until such hear
ing took place the commission would hold
that the law did apply to express COM
panies.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has promulgated the following rule of pro-
ceeding:

the Commission shall be made by petition
which shall set forth the facts on which they
are founded and be verified by the oath Of the

to Leavitt were introduced, ana number
Of business men testified to Arensdorfs
good character.
SIOUX CITY, Ia, April s. The tenth day
of the trial of John Arensdorf. the alleged
murderer of Rev. George c. Haddock,
was completed in the presence of an i'm
mense crowd. 1t is conceded that the
States attorneys have handled their case
in an able manner, and made strong
showing. Thus far the defense has only
sought to impeach the testimony of
LeaVitt and Bismarck" the principal
witnesses for the prosecution. Yes
terday they offered as impeaching evi-
dence-and it was accepted by the court
Leavitts confession and his testimony be-
fore the coroner's jury, and the same Of
Bismarck as to his confession. In ad-
dition to this, impeaching testimony has
been given against Leavitt and IBIS
marck" by equally creditable witnesses
and those not suing for executive clemen-
cy. Thus far public opinion is about even
ly divided as to the guilt of the accused.
I The most important witness yesterday
was Charles Schmidt He was playing
cards in the Columbia House when the shot
was fired He sprang up to the window,
saw Haddock just as he fell, and saw two
men run north on Water street. Fifteen
minutes after the murder he met Arens.

that Arensdorf, as soon as he did the
shooting ran to the brewery and shortly
thereafter appeared upon the street Had.
dock staggered about several seconds be.
fore falling, and this time, added to fifteer
minutes, would have given him time tc

The testimony for the defense is very
conflicting in many instances but they
have produced some very strong impeach-
ing testimony. To establish an alibi, the
defense will have to show where Arens.
